The family's lawyers, Leigh Day, have written to the City of London Police requesting "they review their decision not to bring criminal charges against the driver".

She said the case is clearly "victim-blaming" Ms Tao, who was a strategy consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers in London Bridge.

Pc Tim Harryman told the coroner's court she was in the wrong gear, in an unsafe position and had been too slow to move off when the lights changed.

City of London Police said in a statement: “Our thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friends of Ms Tao, as they have been since this tragic incident took place. The police’s role is to investigate all circumstances surrounding an incident, not to apportion blame.

“An investigation into the circumstances of this incident was carried out and concluded in November 2015 with the decision to take no further action. At this time we have no plans to review this decision.”
